Nios II ISS

Hi everybody,

Am trying to prototype how I can effectively use the niosII read-only zip filing system.

Am currently using the example that came with the development board and I have followed the instructions on how to create and run the zip file in the IDE. Am currently trying to verify whether the zip file could be read by running the software as an ISS.

When I tried to run the software as an ISS, I get the error "file could not be opened". Does anybody know what I can do so that the file could be read?.

Cheers,

joo21

    Thanks rugbybloke. It now works fine. The problem I had was that instead of using debug as hardware, I was using run as hardware. Thanks again for the assistance.

    Cheers,

    Jude

    I suspect then that your problem was related to the host filing system (a feature where you can open files on the PC from the board). This example uses the host filing system, and this only works if you&#39;re debugging, because it uses GDB
